I’m not in love with master modes. Performance is fine on my 7950x3d and 4090. My son was seeing choppy performance in Area18 with his 5600x and 3080.
As always latency is super high. We timed me jumping to when it was shown on my son’s screen and it was around 3 seconds.
I like the new...
Nobaras KDE version has wayland on by default. Also has all the packages for gaming. The current release updates to KDE 6 and has HDR. I just read a guide to fix my HDR issue, so should be all good.
I don't even play anything competetive anymore, so I probably won't need windows at home...
I have been using Nobara for a couple of weeks. Bought hell divers 2 and deep rock galactic for me and my son over the weekend. Both just worked.

Also boo hoo if the software fails to detect a game… you can always turn the other ccd off when it’s time to game. That’s what I did early on when I was playing a lot of Star citizen.
16 cores for renderings and simulations… then a bios toggle and you have a higher clocked 7800x3d for games.
A pretty good use case for the 7950X3D would be installing a hypervisor and giving the 3d cache ccd to windows and then giving the higher boosting non cache ccd to linux.
Then setup passthrough or looking glass or just use a kvm to swap between windows and linux. I bought mine with that in...
This thread reminded me to check on the state of Linux. I installed Nobara Linux and it is looking good. Proton is trivial to enable in steam now.
This weekend I am going to try to setup the steam deck ui for when I am playing on a controller on my tv.
You can, but it is a usb-c connection that still encodes the video. The only time I do that is with racing games and Elite Dangerous as the cable is beyond annoying and a good way to destroy a usb-c port.
Something like this usb-c vr router is a far better option, but like they said the...
